I just bought a Savage, and am going to buy a Hyper 8 port for it. I took the 21bb out but i cant get the flywheel off the engine! There is a black nut then the flywheel, but i dont know how to get them off. Any suggestions???? im stumped

thanks in advance

Use a good pair of water pumps to hold the flywheel and wrench off the nut.

Water pumps??? i dont have any water pumps and i dont know what you mean anyways..care to explain?

I just wrapped a rag around the flywheel and held it with channel locks to get the nut off.Go to any store that sells auto parts and pick up a BATTERY TERMINAL PULLER it works perfect for getting the flywheel off. All it is is a small 2 jaw puller and it's only like 12$$.If you put in the 8port you might wanna get the mugen 3 shoe clutch and flywheel assembly and pick up a set of HPI Heavy Duty Dogbones too because the 8 port broke my stock ones and probably will do the same to yours.

Water pumps are another name for Channel Locks. http://www.channellock.com/acb/store...&Product_ID=96

Ok i get it ill go try again. Thanks

It is better, will save you time and there is a lot less chance that you will break anything! Like the flywheel post.

I got the nut off, but now i cant get the flywheel off. Is it screwed onto the shaft? If so how can i grip the shaft so I can spin the flywheel off?

It's press fit you need a puller to get it off with out damaging it.

Could i use a channel lock to pull it off?

You might damage the shaft or the flywheel but you could try.

hmm well i dont want to do that...whats a puller? Are there any other tools I could use?

When you get a chance go to an auto parts store and get a battery terminal puller it's a small 2 jaw puller and it works great.

ok well thanks for all the help!

Use a screwdriver and put it behind the flywheel and lightly move it up and down. This sometimes works but, don't use too much force. I just took one of my maxx's apart and it worked for me.
